You’ve got to hand it to Planned Parenthood. Its staff members are experts at raising money.
Just look at the headlines over the last six months. Nearly everyone is busy throwing money on Planned Parenthood’s doorstep. Take, for example, Lena Dunham, probably best known as the creator and star of the HBO series Girls. She is selling the clothes off her back and giving Planned Parenthood all the proceeds. Well, not literally off her back, but from her closet.
Halsey (Ashley Frangipane), an American singer and songwriter, gave the organization $100,000. An anonymous couple in Minnesota has just given the local Planned Parenthood affiliate $6.3 million. And a number of governments (e.g., New York City and California) have vowed to give Planned Parenthood enough money to cover any loss of funds from the federal government.
Celebrities, private individuals, and even governments are throwing cash at this organization at a pace that is a bit bewildering. What’s Planned Parenthood’s secret? How can it make people do this?
As it turns out, Planned Parenthood is not doing anything new; it has simply just found a way to tap into some of the oldest and greatest sources of funds.
